Nanoservices as Generalization Services in Service-Oriented Architecture

In software methodology, a service is related to an application in internet technology whereas web-based application is popular in the service-oriented architecture. SOA is a framework for developing an application in the enterprise system. It builds and runs on top of a web-based technology. Each service represents a business activity, and the technology supports this services via an operation known as a web-service. Meanwhile, a microservice architecture is a fine-grained of the web service. So microservice is an approach in implementation phase of a SOA. It is a bottom-up approach in application software development that is potentially used for small company and focused on a specific product. In this paper, a nanoservice is introduced as an implication of transforming a web service into microservices that yields some similarities or intersection among microservices. We showed that a nanoservice is an existence of generalization of microservices, as web service API as an example.
